It's a different kind of music... there's music for listening, music for dancing at different styles, music for head banging while high/drunk, and such and such, they just serve different purposes.
I was clasically trained too, but that shit's pretty freaking awesome. It's like a lot of synthesizers in one. I know how to use a synth, but good ones are expensive, and cheap ones just suck...
I actually like that kind of music a lot, House, Electronica, and so. I might even buy that Ipad (Yes I have one... the story is this: My brother gave it to me, and said: "here, I don't use it anymore, you can have it for school" and that's pretty much it.) program and learn how to amateur DJ sometime... It'd be cool if I can do some mixing to light up the parties and so... Also DJ JD sounds pretty awesome... LOL

I read the first novel so I already had a few thoughts on the series, and knew this would happen, but this was my favorite part because it had me so engrossed and invested and I had a perfect image in my head as to how it would play out and the episode...well I can't say it ruined it, but it just felt a tad lacking. Alot of people were meh-ish on the fight but imo it was the best fight the entire series did. that whole bit when Asuna 'died' and we see Kirito reach the end... I felt as though it could have been done better, and I really didn't like how they made it look like Kirito rivived himself and had some sort of power up to kiyaba.

When we saw the end, I always thought they'd play an extended version of the ending theme as Kazuto and Asuna had their final momments in the game with Kiyaba telling them about the game. I did like that last bit of animation as the two disappeared and would like a gif of that. I also liked how Kazuto awoke and went off to find Asuna so really, I wasn't completely let down.

Overall I liked the light novel version of this more than the anime of this arc of SAO (aside form most of the side stoies as they seemed pointless in the long run, with the exception of the black cats incident) and I'm not exactly hyped for the next arc since I never like elf designs (their long ears look so lame to me) and it looks as though we're reinstating harem nonsense, which, since K and A are MARRIED for craps sake, we shouldn't have it! oh well, I am a tad curious as to what exactly they are going to do, since I thought volume 1 ended off just fine, and also the fact that it would be the most RETARDED MOVE IN HISTORY to want to go back to anysort of game world like that.

I haven't read the novels so I can't say if the episode stayed true to them. But I liked it very much. What had me a bit confused were the things happening that Kayaba "didn't program" like Asuna moving in paralysis and Kirito reviving. Maybe this is explained a bit further in the novel. And I would have liked to know a bit more about Kayaba's motives. I mean, he basically killed almost 4000 people.
